What branch has the least amount of grunt work?

And more skills that involve intelligence. Someone that just came out of college and was smart, what branch would be best for him?|||The chair force|||Coming out of college, you'd want to go through Officer Candidate School and become an officer since you have a Bachelor's Degree and it would allow you to make more money that way.





Air Force pays very well and has a lot of technical jobs which pay very well. The only "grunt" job would be special forces within the Air Force. You'd need to specifically apply for this though. They take care of a lot of extremely extensive equipment (to include Intercontinental ballistic missiles, aka nuclear weapons)





However, the Navy also has their nuclear program, which produces highly proficient nuclear engineers. Officers in the Nuclear Navy (ships that are powered with nuclear reactors: certain submarines and aircraft carriers) can make well over $100K a year, with benefits that meet or exceed the civilian sector, especially with the tax advantage. The bigger subs (called "boomers") carry nuclear weapons as well.





A "grunt" is a slang term for an infantryman, and since every Marine is a rifleman, even if you take a technical job (since there's a host of support jobs in each service, not just infantry, artillery and other Combat Arms jobs) you would still learn the grunt aspects of the military in the Marine Corps. This is one of the things that makes the USMC intrinsically different from the other branches.


The Army also has a number technical jobs, to include grunt jobs.





In short:


Air Force or Navy (especially if you go through Nuclear Power School in the Navy)|||Navy or Airforce. As actually grunts are used to describe Army infantry or Marine infantry. Hope that clears it up for you|||Depends on your degree. If you are engineer then the Air Force or Navy. Possessing a degree does always equate with intelligence. Many colleges have turned into diploma mills.|||Grunts are in the Army and Marines. I repaired avionics electronics in the Air Force.|||The chAir Force.|||if you havent noticed we are at war so all branches are doing grunt work|||What makes you think they would want you?|||air force
